Those who are a success who have lived well, laughed often and loved much; who have gained the respect of intelligent people and the love of children; who have filled their niche and accomplished their task; who leave the world better than they found it, whether by a perfect poem or a rescued soul: who never lacked the appreciation of the earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best they had. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
